Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to use streaming device. I can hook up Youtube TV and other streaming apps with ease. I can't imagine using a different steaming device.

Its a great chromcast replacement as it comes with a remote. I own 3 of these because they are so good. I have 1 in the living room another in my room and another in another room. This is honestly a great way to make a tv a smart tv.

Overall I'm pleased with it after swapping out my FireTV 4k for this, albeit with a couple of small gripes. It's slightly underpowered for the task and will likely show age fast. For the time being it does everything it should do, but it feels disposable. I mainly purchased this for the integration with Google systems, since I tossed out all my Amazon gadgets and swapped them for Google ones for the improved features. I bought two of these, one for a 4K TV and one for an HDTV. It works on the 1080p screen but there's no option for adjusting overscan so it cuts off the edges in some menus. I wouldn't recommend it for Android games since the app storage capacity is lacking, but I don't use it for that. It has enough room for all my media apps but if I did more than that I'd have to add an external drive. A bit annoying, but at least it's an option. I also wish it was available in black. Everything else about it has been vastly superior to the FireTV. Better integration, better app selection, and no annoying advertisements.

Connected directly to a Denon avr-x4700h. My one gripe is, sometimes it doesn't recognize 4k which can be resolved by power cycling the avr. So, minus one star for always having to check the 4k status. Otherwise, it works very well with an easy to use user interface. We now have a total of five in the house.

User friendly setup. User User friendly setup. setup. User friendly setup. User friendly setup.

I you need a streaming device look no further. It out performs the fire stick and is not on a lockdown platform you can sideload apps as needed for the price it's the best streaming device you can get without going to the Nvidia shield.

I was hoping to be able to cast to this from my iOS devices but that only works with a third-party app and only with some media. (If I had done my research I would have known better.) The new interface is nice and easy to use, serving as a great combined hub for most streaming services.

I bought this for my friend and my friend has been loving it ever since. This is probably the best smart TV device at this price point. Google TV is extremely easy to use and the variety of the apps available make this stand among the competition.

Dongle was always great, but addition of remote makes this perhaps the best streaming device available. User interface is GREAT and recommendations are good too. I've always been a Roku user, but this new streaming device has become my personal preference!

I was pleasantly surprised how polished this first generation of Chromecast with Google TV is. I supposed Google has used the manufacturers of Android TVs to refine the experience. Only a few issues you can overlook, like the main screen starting up a bit slow and then recommending things from services you don’t have. Overall very good though.

Hands down improvement from the original Chromecast of 2017. Cleaner interface, faster processed and connectivity make this a much better experience. Only gripe is that voice control still lags behind any of the Amazon products (no voice search or control in certain apps is a glaring omission). Another one that may seem obvious is no Apple TV+ support.

The product is easy to use and comes with a nice remote.

Replaced my aging Roku 4 and within a day the Roku was already unplugged and collecting. The interface is intuitive, the suggestions are helpful, and being able to control to TV with my Google Home products is a nice addition to impress friends and be generally lazy.

This was an excellent update for my streaming use. Instead of having to use 2 remotes (one for the television and another for the streaming services), this Chromecast combines both functions into one easy-to-use device. Very pleased with this purchase.

As streaming devices go, this product is as good as other similar devices. The main reason I bought it is to use with my YouTube TV subscription. It's the only one where the voice control works within YouTube TV. That is with other devices the voice control works on a global level, not within the YouTube TV programing specifically.

I just switched from a 1st gen fire tv cube and it has been great. The chromecast is much more reactive than my fire tv cube and is much lighter on advertisements on the home screen. Casting also works better (as expected)

Ended up purchasing two of them to replace my fire sticks and the household. Best decision I could have ever done. The UI could use a little improvement but overall the speed and stability of the unit far surpasses anything the fire stick or fire TV cube did for me.

I like the upgrade to the remote control aspect. it has been easy to connect the phone to the tv. i had not tried the new one with my laptop. I had the old version which was connected. someone commented the new might not pick up from a laptop. if that is true that would definitely be a negative. overall i am very happy with it.

We love how easy this is to use and that you can add apps as they are available (or discovered). We don't watch TV a lot, but there is definitely variety for streaming. We would definitely purchase again.

This made it very easy to cast from my Android phone to the Chromecast that I plugged into a BenQ projector.
